Dear Sir Knights & Ladies,

   Last February the Indiana Senate voted  50-0 unanimously on “Drews Bill” that states that a killing a fetus is punishable by prison if a person Drinking kills one, but it is still  OK if it is done by a Doctor in his Right Mind. This double standard to life is a bit confusing to me but I will take a win when we get it. Define now Senators, what is Pre Meditated Homicide and Reckless Homicide. Our new Bishop calls for us to read the Manhattan Declaration and bring back true morels of our faith which so is desperately needed in today’s times.

   On the brighter side of life how are you holding to your Lenten disciplines? Giving up something for 40 days can be a challenge but has its rewards in the end. As with the child story Thomas the Cho Cho said I Think I can , I think I can, sticking with it just say I can do it, or  I don’t need that negative thing in my life, Old habits are just as hard to kick I think opposed to new ideas to accomplish.

   Our plans for Exemplification in South Bend late summer this year are underway. Click here for our Website  on 2010 Exemplifications for more details. Last month’s social we installed Fr. Lawrence Teteh and Fr. Michael Heimer as 4th degree Sir Knights in a special ceremony by our Master Dale Heger where Fr. Lawrence is officially now our Faithful Friar. Welcome to our ranks of Catholic Gentelmen.

   This months Saint of the month is St. Patrick attributed for the iconic Shamrock and driving the serpents out of Ireland, Spring time is also when everything starts to turn green, I am ready for that. Come to this month’s social and pick up a shamrock plant for a piece of Irish tradition and hint that Spring is around the corner!
